Sebastian van Baalen

I am an Associate Senior Lecturer at the Department of Peace and Conflict Research at Uppsala University, Sweden. My main research interest concerns the dynamics of rebel violence and governance in civil war. Other research interests include the dynamics of postwar and electoral violence, civilian agency in violent contexts, and the sources of restraint in civil war. Most of my research has examined the dynamics of violence in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in Côte d'Ivoire.
